On My Nokia Blog, fan Peter Lackman submitted a few of his own concepts for new features in the behavior of Live Tiles. If you recall, Peter Lackman is the same visionary that brought us Symbian-style themes for WP7 in an earlier concept submission. This time he's gone above and beyond the original scope of his concept and has come up with a few novel ideas for the Start page, which Microsoft should seriously consider checking out.
The first idea is what he calls "Live Cubes" in which live tiles are given a three-dimensional depth and can flip around to reveal more features or apps. He expands the concept further by flipping over other adjacent tiles to show context-sensitive shortcuts when holding down on a tile (for example, holding down on IE flips the other tiles to show bookmarks). Lackman has created a pair of videos demonstrating how he imagines the concept might work and those can be seen above. The second part of the concept is "Secondary Tiles" which are just what they sound like: tiles that are linked and offer widget-like functionality. One example shown was the Spotify app that had a secondary tile acting as a quick music controls widget.
Overall Lackman has done a wonderful job once again and is a strong contender for the title of "Best Windows Phone 7 Fan Ever" in our books. For pictures and Lackman's explanation of these concepts, hit up the source link below.
